Create an equation using the formula for area of a rectangle; area = width * length
(X + 2)(x + 3) = 600
Multiply the dimensions.
X^2 + 3x + 2x +6 = 600, or simplified x^2 +5x + 6 = 600.
Subtract 600 to get the following:
X^2 + 5x - 594 = 0
Factor by x:
(X - 22)(x + 27) = 0
Solve for x
X - 22 = 0
X = 22.
Use the POSITIVE VALUE of x as you can’t have a negative area for a room.
Then substitute 22 for x to get the dimensions
(22+ 2) or 24 for length and (22+3) or 25 for width.
Answer:
(final - initial/initial ) * 100
66 - 55/55 * 100
11/55 * 100
100/5
= 20 percent
Answer:
17 and 44
Step-by-step explanation:
Let S = smaller number, then L = the larger = 3S - 7
The sum = 3S - 7 + S = 4S - 7 = 61
4S = 68
S = 17 and L = 44
Answer:10 Seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
s=1600 ft
t=√(s) /4
t=√(1600)/4
t=40/4
t=10 seconds
Answer:
distance covered in 2 hours = 80 km
distance covered in 1 hour = 80÷2 = 40 km
distance covered in 7/2 hours = 40 × 7/2
= 140 km
(3 1/2hours = 7/2 hours)
